Fu Song

Chapter 50 Brothers
When the cock crowing at the fifth watch, Xiao Cheng pushed open the door and walked out of the room.

Years of habit formation made him always wake up at this point no matter how hard the night was or how late he slept.

I looked up at the sky, but it was just dimly lit.

As the seasons go by, the hours of dawn are slowly moving back.

After running slowly around his small courtyard for a while, he pressed his legs on some specially made racks for a while, stretched his muscles and bones, and then started his regular morning class: boxing.

Xiao Cheng's self-discipline is also well-known in Xiao Mansion.

Never sleep in.

There are two fixed subjects in the morning, first exercise the body, and then start reading after washing up.

Years have been like one day, and the people in the Xiao family have long been used to it.

And as Xiao Cheng's little companion, Li Xin, also brought wash water, towel and tooth powder on time after Xiao Cheng finished his fists and feet.

"Where did you go yesterday?" Looking at Li Xin, Xiao Cheng asked with a smile, "When I came back, I didn't find you."

Li Xin stuck out his tongue and said, "Erlang, I went to the front yesterday to watch the fun, and I forgot about it for a while. When I came back, Erlang fell asleep."

"Where are Wei Wu and the others?"

"Yes!" Li Xin said enthusiastically: "Sanye Wei drinks with those people. No one agrees with each other. You can drink it with a bowl. One sip is a bowl."

"How about in the end?" Such a strong wine, one sip and one bowl?I am afraid that many people will fall, Xiao Cheng thought to himself.

"It's lively at the end!" Li Xin tried his best to hold back his laughter, "Some people are screaming, some people are crying, some people are scolding the street, some people sing a little song, and many people go down with two bowls of wine, just like wooden stakes. fell to the ground."

"Then Wei Wu was busy yesterday!"

"That's not it!" Li Xindao said, "Didn't Third Master Wei arrest me, who was going to watch the fun? Helping to serve this group of people, I managed to push them onto the bed one by one, but every now and then someone jumped. I got up to look for trouble, and I just came back in the middle of the night. In the end, Third Master Wei collapsed on the ground. "

"This guy is self-inflicted!" Xiao Cheng smiled.

"Isn't that true?" Li Xin nodded again and again: "Sanye Wei knows that this wine is powerful, so he was trying to betray these people. In the end, he got himself into the pit."

"It's the truth of being a cocoon." Xiao Cheng said: "You can do things in the future, you can take this as a warning, you have to think clearly about the causes and consequences, and you must not be smart and let yourself suffer in the end."

"The villain is by your side Erlang, you only need to wear ears and hands, it doesn't matter if you have a brain or not!" Li Xin said with a smile.

"Nonsense." Xiao Cheng glared at him and said, "One day in the future, when your Erlang and I become a high-ranking official, I will naturally make you look good, and then you won't understand shit, don't you think? Want to cause trouble for your Erlang? Over the years, I asked you to read and write with me, do you think it was a joke?"

Li Xin nodded again and again: "I remember it! Erlang, there was something else to do yesterday. Among Dalang's personal soldiers, there was a man named Li Yi, who knew my name after getting drunk and hugged me and cried. But sad. He insisted on accepting me as a younger brother, saying that his five brothers were benevolent, righteous, courteous, wise and trustworthy, but except for him, all the family died! I was soft-hearted and agreed."

The whole family died, and above the border, it is really nothing new.Xiao Cheng also felt pity in his heart.

"Since you have recognized someone as your elder brother, you have to take this matter seriously and don't make any jokes. These men who walk in the blood are the most committed, and you can't lose my talent. ."

"Of course, that's why I want to take a half-day off with Erlang today to buy something good on the street and give it to my newly recognized righteous brother!" Li Xin said earnestly.

"What are you going to buy?"

"Are there any good things in Bianliang City?" Li Xindao: "No matter what it is, you can get it!"

"These people are all military men. A good weapon may sometimes lead to a life. You go to Tiangong Iron Art, and let Mr. Han give you a good Pu Dao for him!"

Li Xin was overjoyed: "Erlang, like the knife you played with last time?"

Xiao Cheng reached out his hand and knocked on his head, "What are you thinking? There is only one knife like that. I don't know how much effort it took for Old Man Han's family? The stuff, that's really much better. It won't make your kid lose face."

"Thank you Erlang." Li Xin was very happy, "Then I'll go back."

Xiao Cheng waved his hand and motioned for Li Xin to go to the study to prepare the lights, he was going to read.

Just as he was about to leave the courtyard, he heard the sound of exhaling and kicking and kicking. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the East Cross Courtyard, which was only separated by a wall.

This second entry into the yard was originally one.The East Crossing Court belongs to Xiao Ding, and the West Crossing Court belongs to Xiao Cheng.

Later, after Xiao Ding became a relative, he went to join the army again, leaving only Gao Qi in the family, and then another Xiao Jing.It doesn't matter when Xiao Ding is at home, but Xiao Ding has been away from home for many years, and it is not appropriate for his uncle and sister-in-law to live in the same courtyard, so the second courtyard was remodeled, and a wall was built in the middle, which was completely separated. Two courtyards.

If you want to get in, you either enter from the lobby or from the backyard.

Hearing the voice, Xiao Cheng walked to the wall and confirmed that it was his brother who was practicing boxing on the opposite side. He couldn't help but look up at the sky again, it was still early!This brother of my own family was actually willing to crawl out of the bed.

After thinking about it, he dragged a stool from one side, stood on it, just exposed his head, and looked at the east yard.

Sure enough, in the morning light, Xiao Ding was bare-chested and practicing boxing in the yard.

Seeing several scars on the stretched muscles, Xiao Cheng couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

"Brother!" he exclaimed.

Xiao Ding closed his fists and turned around, looked at Xiao Cheng, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are used to getting up early to practice boxing and reading, just like when you were a child?"

"I've already finished my boxing, and I'm about to go to study!" Xiao Cheng said, "It's you, eldest brother, why do you get up so early today?"

I wanted to make a joke, but when I thought about it, I didn't want to annoy my elder brother. Besides, if my elder brother got up, my sister-in-law would definitely get up.

Xiao Cheng smiled: "It's getting up late today. Don't lie on the wall, come and talk."

"But it's not convenient."

"Little guy, is your hair long? Just tell me it's convenient and inconvenient, yes, then I'll come over." Xiao Ding pulled the clothes off the shelf with a smile, trotted a few steps, jumped up, and stepped on On the wall, he took the opportunity to take another step, reached out and clinging to the top of the wall, and sat on the top of the wall lightly and skillfully.

There was a soft sound behind him. When Xiao Cheng went to look, he saw his sister-in-law covering her mouth and looking at the two brothers on the wall.

Xiao Ding turned his head and said with a smile, "I'll talk to my brother for a while, and I'll ask the lady to order the kitchen to make a grass meal and bring it here."

"Got it!" Looking at the two brothers on the wall, Gao Qi smiled sweetly, then turned and went into the room.

"Sister-in-law sees your scar, I'm afraid it's so bad, right?" He took a closer look at the injury on Xiao Ding's body. The most dangerous time, it was only about two inches away from the heart. It was really a life and death line.

"I cried for a long time. I also said that I would go back and ask my elders, don't ask me to go to the northern border again. It's all the words of women and Taoists." Xiao Ding shook his head: "It looks dangerous, but it's actually nothing, outside. Wearing armor, the armor left by the old man back then is not an ordinary thing, here is a shot, two inches into the flesh."

Xiao Cheng was horrified: "The arrows break through the armor, the opponent is very powerful!"

"It should be a good player in the Gong Fen army. Within ten steps, he still had time to give me an arrow, but it was a big surprise to me." Xiao Ding said: "But that's all. He can only give me his head."

Xiao Ding put it lightly, but Xiao Cheng could imagine how dangerous the situation at that time was.

The outcome of life and death is really in an instant.

"Thank you for the gift that big brother brought me back." Xiao Cheng said, leading Xiao Ding into his study.

"It's just some medicinal herbs and fur. In the North, it's not worth much." Xiao Ding said with a smile: "And I stole a lot of them from the Liao people."

"It's not worth much in the North, but in this Bianliang City, it's worth the old money." Xiao Cheng said: "Especially those mink furs, the coat color is really good, the most rare color is almost the same. The warehouse at home , but can't find it."

"Just to make a robe for you." Xiao Ding said.

"I also have a gift for eldest brother!" Xiao Cheng said: "I have been preparing for nearly two years, and I think eldest brother will like it."

As he spoke, he stepped aside, took off a knife from the wall, and put it on the table.

The scabbard is made of hard pear wood, and it is covered with a layer of tanned leather. It feels good in the hand, and it is simple and unpretentious. There is texture, but there is nothing special about it, but when Xiao Ding held the handle of the knife and slowly pulled out the knife, he couldn't help but exclaimed.

He is an expert, whether a knife is good or not, just take a look at it, and you will have a general idea in your heart.

"Good knife!" Xiao Ding blurted out when he saw the candlelight shining on the blade, and a ray of light roamed like a living thing. "Where did you get such a good knife."

He stretched out his finger and flicked, and the sound was like a dragon roar.Xiao Cheng picked up a piece of rice paper on the table and tossed it casually. Xiao Ding understood it, slashed it with a knife, and the rice paper was silently divided into two pieces, but it still fell flat.

Xiao Ding was once again amazed.

Although he had already considered it to be a good knife, he was still pleasantly surprised by its sharpness.

"Tian Gong Iron Art, I have prepared for this knife for two years!"
